Zong Qiongyao's Haoxiang

"Queen, how is Twelve?"

The Empress Dowager was still very concerned about the emperor's only son-in-law, and because of Haoxiang, she became a little closer to Yongzheng. Seeing that Yongzheng did not come with the queen, she asked a question.

"Going back to the Queen Mother, Twelve is fine, but he was a little frightened, and his spirit was a little weak. The imperial doctor told him to rest well, but the concubine didn't let him come." The Queen did not hysterically beg the Queen Mother to seek justice for Twelve, He just downplayed the situation at Twelve and showed a worried look at the right time.

If the Queen doesn't say what happened on the school grounds, the Queen Mother will pursue it.Twelve was not injured, but he was definitely frightened. The queen said it lightly, but it was just to avoid leaving an unreasonable impression in the queen mother's heart, and to win the sympathy of the queen mother.

"It's fine, I'll order someone to send him some shock medicine later." The emperor interrupted suddenly.

The queen glanced at him in surprise, thinking that this is very strange, the sun is coming out from the west?However, he said: "The concubine thanked the emperor for the reward on behalf of the twelve!"

"The emperor cares about his son, thank you?" The empress dowager scolded. The empress dowager did not want the empress mother and son to alienate the emperor because of the emperor's neglect of Twelve.

"Emperor Niang said yes." The emperor agreed.

"The concubine is wrong." The empress bowed her knees and blessed the emperor and the empress dowager, admitting her mistake very simply, even though she was very disdainful of the emperor's belated concern in her heart, she made it so that people could not find reason .

The queen also understands now that honest people don't live long in the palace.For the sake of twelve, it doesn't matter if you hide your true nature and be a little more tactful.

"Fortunately, Twelve is fine, but the Ai family who should be held accountable will not let him off lightly. How dare you blatantly murder the prince, the Ai family wants to see who is so bold!" The queen mother said in a deep voice, but her eyes kept on Ling Concubine and Concubine Yu.

Concubine Ling pretended not to know, but Concubine Yu felt guilty because she had sent someone to assassinate Yongzheng. At this time, she heard the Queen Mother's harsh words and looked at her from time to time, and couldn't help shaking.

"Emperor, have all the criminals in the imperial horse prison been arrested?" The queen mother saw the reaction of the two people, but she didn't care, and asked the emperor instead.

"Before I came, I ordered people to arrest him." The emperor replied.

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, a guard came in to report.

"Back to the emperor, the servants are late, the eunuch who fed the horses and poisonous weeds committed suicide last night, and the other one who gave the horses fled!"

"It's unreasonable!" The emperor said angrily, he felt that he was fooled, and he couldn't catch anyone who happened under his nose!

"The mastermind is so skillful in doing things so impeccably! Emperor, Aijia, do you think it's time to clean up the House of Internal Affairs?" The House of Internal Affairs that the Empress Dowager said directly pointed the finger at Concubine Ling.

Concubine Ling's father, Wei Qingtai, is in charge of the House of Internal Affairs. Since Concubine Ling's grandfather was the head of the House of Internal Affairs, the House of Internal Affairs has been almost controlled by the Wei family for decades, and Wei Qingtai's House of Internal Affairs has covered the sky with his hands figure.The Yumajian is one of the thirteen yamen under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and anyone with a discerning eye can know the connection.

"This..." The emperor was a little dumbfounded, he didn't know why the fire was on the concubine Ling's head, and he couldn't help but look at the concubine Ling.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Ling's eyes were filled with tears, her face was filled with sorrow, she looked back innocently at the Emperor.

"Emperor Niang, I don't think there is any need to go to war like this. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a lot of ties to it, and there are occasional negligences. It must be some kind of loophole that the thieves have exploited to succeed. Wei Qingtai's work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has won my heart for decades. , I don’t want to chill the heart of the old minister because of such a trivial matter.” The emperor’s love for Lingfei did not last overnight, and Yongzheng only made him look at him differently, how could he shake Lingfei’s position in his heart for Yongzheng.

"A small matter? Emperor, this is not a trivial matter! If you dare to murder the prince through the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in broad daylight, if you don't punish severely, what is the majesty of the royal family? The Ministry of Internal Affairs is a good confidant of our royal family. Others are cheaper? Today is the murder of the prince, if you don’t deal with it, wouldn’t you want to seek the country tomorrow?!”

The empress dowager's questioning was so loud that the emperor was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly bowed to admit his mistake to the empress dowager: "What the queen mother said is true, I was wrong!"

"Your Majesty...it's not like this... Your Majesty..." Ling Fei begged, shaking her head.

"Proceed with the order. From now on, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be thoroughly investigated. All officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be detained for trial!" This time, the imperial concubine failed to sway the emperor, which was of course more important than that the imperial concubine was his throne.

Although he couldn't bring down Concubine Ling all at once, but as Hao Xiang expected, breaking her arm was considered to have achieved his goal.

The queen looked at the concubine Ling who was crawling on the ground with her belly outstretched and begging the emperor to let Wei Qingtai go, she felt very relieved, but at the same time she had a deeper understanding of the emperor's ruthlessness.

The following two days were the most turbulent two days for the Ministry of Internal Affairs since the Qing Dynasty. All officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were put in jail, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate interrogated them one by one and liquidated their properties.The incident happened so suddenly that the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not get any news at all, and the offender was arrested before he could transfer property.Those who didn't do anything wrong were fine, and they were put back the next day.But only a few people can get away safely.Most of them are moths who corrupted the law and enriched their own pockets, especially the Wei family.

Wei Qingtai, as the actual person in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was charged with all the crimes. The silver taels seized by the Metropolitan Procuratorate from his house alone were as much as the tax of the entire Qing Dynasty in one year, not including jewelry, antiques and others below him. Property and shop in the name of a person.

As soon as the papers from the Metropolitan Procuratorate were handed over, the government and the public were shocked. The emperor was furious, dropped the papers, and directly ordered Wei Qingtai to be dismissed from office!The rest of the offenders were also punished one by one.

As the daughter of a sinner, Lingfei was also demoted to a nobleman.

When the imperial court was rejoicing at finally getting rid of the cancer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Lingfei, oh no, it was Wei Guiren who cursed the person who caused her in the newly moved side hall of Yanxi Palace.

Mrs. Wei is not a fool, it is impossible to do something that knew the emperor was present and ordered someone from the House of Internal Affairs to murder the prince, just like the last time Twelve's assassination outside the palace was done by Concubine Ling under the guise of Concubine Yu, and she sent The man was originally just to confirm whether the matter was successful, but seeing that the people sent by Concubine Yu did not succeed, he wanted to make amends in the back, but unexpectedly he got himself into it.

But there is someone else behind the Crazy Horse Incident in the schoolyard. Wei Guiren just put the culprit in the Imperial Horse Prison and wanted to use his hands to get rid of Twelve Elder Brothers. But that person was too shrewd. If things failed, he gave her a hard time and escaped.Therefore, although Mrs. Wei was not the instigator of what happened this time, it is also inseparable from her and cannot be regarded as completely innocent.

However, Mrs. Wei was wrong: she failed to guess that the Empress Dowager deliberately used this matter to clean up the House of Internal Affairs, and she underestimated the consequences. For this reason, Mrs. Wei's mother family, the Wei family, was uprooted, even herself. After being implicated, the emperor no longer trusted her.

After Wei Guiren hated it, he thought about how to solve the current predicament.She urgently needs help now. If she wants to return to her previous position, she must regain the trust of the emperor and the approval of the empress dowager.No. [-] Brother and Little Swallow, Mr. Wei no longer counts on them. Although they eagerly expressed their desire to help, Mr. Wei knows that their help is largely the more they help.

The emperor is very filial to the queen mother, and he can listen to her words very well. To obtain the queen mother's approval is more important to Wei Guiren, so she set her sights on Fu Chahao, an imperial physician who is deeply trusted by the queen mother and is also favored by the queen. Xiang body.

Wei Guiren has seen this Fucha Haoxiang several times, but every time he stands behind the Queen Mother and beside the living queen, so Wei Guiren doesn't know this person well.So Wei Guiren called her confidant, Imperial Physician Hu.

Although Wei Guiren's status has plummeted now, after all, she has been working hard in the palace for many years. Those who have a handle in her hands or whose family members are controlled by her are still working for her, so Wei Guiren has no influence in the palace. how affected.Imperial Physician Hu soon came to see Wei Guiren on the grounds of diagnosing Ping An's pulse.

"Doctor Hu, do you know Fucha Haoxiang?" Wei Guiren asked.

"Your Majesty, do you want to?" Imperial Physician Hu didn't answer directly, but first asked about the nobleman's intentions.

"This palace (haven't changed the name yet) wants this Fucha Haoxiang to be used by me."

"Your Majesty, I don't have much friendship with Fucha Haoxiang. I only know that he is aloof, but his medical skills are superb. As far as I know, he and Twelfth Elder Brother are very close. He removed the poison on Twelfth Elder Brother." Physician Hu commented seemingly fairly.

But he specifically pointed out the poison on the twelfth elder brother because the poison was given by the concubine Ling, and Haoxiang was indirectly against Wei Guiren after he got rid of the poison.

And Wei Guiren once blamed him for this incident, so Imperial Physician Hu was particularly jealous of Fucha Haoxiang.Jealous of him being appreciated by the left and right court officials at a young age, and directly promoted by the queen mother, hating him for repeatedly doing bad things.Therefore, Imperial Physician Hu not only didn't want Wei Guiren to win over Fucha Haoxiang, but also wanted to take Wei Guiren's hand to get rid of him.

But Wei Guiren obviously doesn't care about this.

"Is he not married yet?" Wei Guiren asked.

"I heard it is."

"Hmph, so what about being aloof? I'm afraid he hasn't seen the power of beauty at such a young age, so I'll let him see it! Wine, sex, wealth, power, there's nothing a man doesn't want. I want to see it." How lonely and arrogant can he be!" Wei Guiren is bound to win this Fucha Haoxiang.

The major shake-up of the Ministry of Internal Affairs caused by Yongzheng did not affect Yongzheng's life in the slightest.At this time, Yongzheng and Keshan are taking advantage of the lunch time to chat.

"I heard that Imperial Concubine Yu is crazy, and she has been talking about someone trying to kill her." Keshan is always well informed, and he can find out about any strange things in the palace.

"Oh? Could it be because of what we encountered outside the palace that day?" Yong Xin was referring to the assassination outside the palace.

"I don't know. I heard that it's not normal to come out of the Compassionate Peace Palace. It's probably because I have done too many bad things, and I'm afraid the Buddha will blame me." Keshan has no sympathy for those who have harmed them, and there is a hint of gloating in his words .

"I don't know if Fifth Brother has ever visited her, but it's because of Fifth Brother that she would do this." Yongzheng sighed.Although the assassination chilled Yong Xin, he still remembered that when he was a child, when others wished to walk around him, Concubine Yu treated him very tenderly.

"Fifth elder brother knows how to hold that stupid bird all day long, so how can he have time to visit his mother-in-law." Keshan sneered.

"The son wants to support him but he doesn't wait for his relatives. I hope the fifth brother can wake up soon."

Although Yongzhen felt that Concubine Yu's life was a bit worthless, she didn't sympathize with her. Since she chose such a path, she had to be prepared to bear the consequences.
